I use the apps my friends use but it gets tiring to keep up with so many.

Nah everyone has RCS these days except people with old phones and iPhones, and even the iPhones are going to be rcs compatible soon

The average person just has no idea about RCS or protocols in general and are incidental adopters of it just like SMS. Sometimes these nerd debates about platforms and protocols emphasize technology features over actually connecting with people or doing something productive on said technology.

I'm a nerd. I know vaguely what RCS is because I had a discussion in 2019 with a friend about it. Do I have it? Do I use it? I have no idea. Is it an app or just a protocol that happens behind the scenes? I would assume the latter. My phone's a few years old, isn't everyone's? Probably that means I don't have it. No way to tell and I'm not going to bother trying to find out.

I'm so much more technical than most people btw

What is RCS?

[–] owen@lemmy.ca 3 points 8 months ago

It's a messaging standard, it's pretty much SMS + Internet features. Developed like a decade ago and apple he been trying to dumpster it since then.
